6"×12" oil on linen canvas (sold)
I couldn't resist painting this scene from a photo my son-in-law, Clint, sent to me last month. This was a view along side one of Southern Iowa's country roads. There really was all this color early that morning.I tried something new with this work......instead of using mineral spirits alone to thin my oils when blocking in the subject, I used a mix of equal amounts mineral spirits, fine linseed oil, & varnish. I plan to use more of this as my medium in future studio work. I'm anxious to try it painting outdoors as well.
